Contract Prince

The two sides are deadlocked, and neither will let the other.Xiao Zhan's entourage has been following His Royal Highness King An's side, and affected by his temperament, most of these entourages are also generous.

On the contrary, the palace people on Concubine Li's side were arrogant, they spoke aggressively, and their skills in sarcasm and sarcasm were top-notch, and the followers on King An's side couldn't stand it anymore.

The entourage saw that it was not an option to go on like this, so they had to return angrily and report the matter to King An Xiaozhan.

After Xiao Zhan heard the cause and effect, his face showed anger, "How dare the concubine Li's courtiers be so arrogant and don't take this king seriously!"

If only Concubine Li was arrogant, Xiao Zhan would understand, but now her subordinates dare to be so defiant, Xiao Zhan simply cannot bear it.

"You can't summon her, I will summon her myself!" Xiao Zhan said angrily, walking forward alone.

Gu Yunjing followed closely behind, and said in a deep voice: "Over the years, Concubine Li Gui has indeed been too arrogant. It is really time for His Highness Wang An to rectify the atmosphere in the harem so that she can restrain herself."

Xiao Zhan said angrily: "Is it as simple as restraining yourself? The poisoning of the queen mother has nothing to do with her!"

Gu Yunjing looked at him fixedly: "What is your Highness going to do?"

"Concubine Li murdered the empress, she should be executed for the crime!" Xiao Zhan said bluntly, although he knew the consequences of killing Concubine Li, he was fearless when he thought of the unconscious empress lying on the bed.

"Have you ever thought about what Qin She and Xiao Cong will do after killing Concubine Li Gui?"

Xiao Zhan stopped, and asked Gu Yunjing: "Could it be that because of their great power, I will turn a blind eye? Do you want me to bear this tone? If I am so cowardly and incompetent, then What kind of emperor are you still doing? If I can't get justice for my mother, then what kind of son of man will I be!"

Gu Yunjing looked at Xiao Zhan's face flushed because of anger, and patiently persuaded him: "I understand your anger and sadness. To be honest, the grief in my heart is not inferior to yours. The mother's kindness to me is as great as a mountain. If Concubine Li is the murderer, no matter how dangerous it is, I will find a way to punish her!"

Xiao Zhan was startled, and restrained his anger slightly: "You mean that Concubine Li is not the murderer?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Yunjing said, "The matter has developed to this point. Actually, after thinking about it carefully, I probably know the process of the mother's poisoning."

"It has something to do with this cat. Two days ago we asked the imperial chef of the imperial dining room, and the imperial chef said that no one broke into the imperial dining room. They did not lie. Because it was this cat that broke into the imperial dining room. The cat was poisoned, and it must have come across it. Those snacks, snacks are also stained with toxins."

Xiao Zhan frowned and shook his head: "No, if the cat really touches the dim sum, the chefs will throw it away and redo it."

Gu Yunjing said: "I just deduced this process, and we have to study the details. I can't figure out this point. It seems that we should ask the imperial chef again."

"Let's take this matter for a while. Now I need to tell you clearly that Concubine Li is not a murderer. You must not lose your ability to judge because of anger, and let yourself be used in vain."

Xiao Zhan remained silent, obviously he had listened to Gu Yunjing's words.

Gu Yunjing continued: "The conflict between you and Zhao Wang Xiao Cong has been very acute, but it has not exploded for a long time. Do you know why?"

"why?"

Gu Yunjing said: "Because you two have many worries in the world. You are worried about his power, and he is worried about you being in charge of the court. Because of this concern, the two of you will not act easily unless you are in an emergency."

"However, it's different now. The Empress was accidentally poisoned, and Concubine Li Gui is the most suspected... You hate Concubine Li Gui, and then directly take her to prison. If you do this, King Zhao and Qin She will also hate you. So There will definitely be a lot of fighting between you, and you will meet each other in battle!"

"I say that, can you understand, Your Highness?" Gu Yunjing's face was covered by a mask, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. Her eyes were calm and full of expectation. She hoped that His Highness Wang An would calm down and think about everything.

Xiao Zhan raised his head, his Adam's apple twitched slightly: "I understand, some people want to reap the benefits of fishing. Son-in-law, who do you think is the murderer behind this scene?"

Gu Yunjing replied: "Anyone who wants to sit on the throne is suspected."

"I fought with Xiao Cong, and we both suffered. Kang Wang Xiao Lian is mediocre. From this point of view, the person who is most likely to ascend to the throne should be Duan Wang Xiao Yang. Is it really him?"

What kind of person is the fourth prince Xiao Yang?Gu Yunjing knew it too.He was young, calm and ambitious.

"It's possible."

Xiao Zhan lowered his head slightly, looked at Gu Yunjing's eyes at the same level, and suddenly sneered: "People's hearts are unpredictable, especially those born in the royal family, their hearts are even more unpredictable."

"Xiao Yang found me personally dozens of days ago. He told me that he would do his best to help me, and he only asked me to protect his wealth and safety after I ascended the throne. He was sincere in his attitude and sincere in his words. He was even willing to lend me his soldiers so that I drove. I really didn't expect that in just ten days, he changed another face. It turns out that what he said before was to deceive me."

Gu Yunjing was not surprised at all: "It seems that Prince Duan is really a sensible person, and many things are clearer than us. If Xiao Yang is really the murderer behind the scenes, then it can only be said that this person's heart is too sinister and cunning It's gone. It seems he can't stay."

"But if the murderer is not Xiao Yang, then it means that the murderer is too scheming, killing three birds with one stone."

Xiao Zhan rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked: "My son-in-law, you are going around like this, this king makes you dizzy, is the murderer Xiao Yang?"

Gu Yunjing sighed softly: "Actually, I don't know whether Xiao Yang is the murderer behind the scenes? I can only investigate slowly."

"Yeah." Xiao Zhan nodded, "Then what should we do now?"

"Go to Concubine Li's bedroom."

Xiao Zhan was very puzzled: "But didn't you say that this was not done by Concubine Li?"

"I didn't ask you to question Concubine Li, I just wanted Your Highness to teach her palace people a lesson? A few little palace people dared to disobey your orders. If you don't punish them severely, what deterrent will your Highness have in the future? What about power?"

"Oh I got it."

Gu Yunjing asked again: "I am dressed up like this now, so I will not go with His Highness. You go alone, remember to show your majesty and domineering king."

Xiao Zhan said warmly: "Okay, then you can go back and rest, son-in-law."

.......................................

The situation was urgent, and whenever there was a disturbance in the palace, the eyeliner arranged by Debi would reveal the news to her.When the woman heard the news that Xiao Zhan had gone to Concubine Li's bedroom, she beamed with joy, thinking that King An would question Concubine Li.

However, she hadn't been happy for a long time, when she heard another disappointing news, Xiao Zhan didn't blame Concubine Li, but just scolded and condemned her palace people.

Concubine De's brows were deep, she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Zhan's gourd?She asked the maid beside her: "What is Xiao Zhan's intention in doing this? We have already thrown out the clue of the cat, so he can't even think of it. Is Xiao Zhan really confused or fake? "

"Could it be that His Royal Highness Wang An saw any flaws?" The maid replied, "Now it seems that there is only one explanation. If His Royal Highness Wang An really sees a flaw, will this matter implicate us?"
